Peer through graceful stone arches carved by the wind, your windows on deep blue desert skies and vistas of rounded stone pillars, sun struck in glowing reds and gold.
Cool off near the Weeping Cliffs of Zion, where thousands of silver droplets seep through layers of sandstone to feed tiny plants clinging to rocks.
Wonder at the bizarre landscape of towering mazes and rose-tinted natural amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon, where pi?on pines, the oldest trees on Earth, cling to life on multi-colored stone.
Witness massive boulders balanced on spired sandstone pinnacles, awaiting the timeless moment when wind and frost will send them crashing to the desert floor.

Bring home this must-have for fans of our national parks! This 3 DVD special collection includes: Disc 1: Marvel at Yellowstone's many scenic wonders: See the steamy balconies and terraces nature sculpted in Mammoth Hot Springs. Witness the grandeur of magnificent Old Faithful. Be mesmerized by the beauty of Yellowstone Lake, Hayden Valley, and the petrified trees on Specimen Ridge. Visit sputtering, bubbling, hissing Norris Geyser Basin, scene of the park's greatest thermal activity. View the awesome Grand Canyon of Yellowstone from the commanding prospects of Inspiration Point and Artist Point. Discover the rich history of Yellowstone's earliest days, including the original Indian inhabitants, and first explorers. Encounter the wildlife as only a camera can capture it, and relive the variety of summer and winter activities that bring visitors back again and again. Disc 2: And from soaring rock formations to the raging whitewater rapids of the Colorado River, marvel at the majesty of the Grand Canyon! For an exhilarating experience, try whitewater rafting or take the slow and steady route on a pack-mule trip. Day trips to the Havasupai Indian Reservation, Lake Powell, and Zion National Park are also included. More than 2,000 years ago, the Anasazi Indians lived in this region. This program includes an exclusive segment on Shaman's Gallery, where many Anasazi rock paintings have been preserved. Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the Grand Canyon a national park in 1908, saying "do nothing to mar its grandeur, keep it for your children, for your children's children, and all who come after you." Disc 3: Immortalized by photographer Ansel Adams and championed by naturalist John Muir, Yosemite is the most awe-inspiring national park of them all! In addition to fishing, cross-country skiing and even golfing, the park offers exciting rock-climbing opportunities on the faces of such peaks as Half-Dome and El Capitan. Visit Devil's Postpile National Monument and two more national parks - Sequoia and King's Canyon - just a few hours away. The program also captures many images of the diverse wildlife that roams the vast 1,170 square miles of Yosemite National Park: mile deer, mountain lions, black bears, coyotes, bighorn sheep and the rare peregrine falcon. With all these natural riches, it is small wonder that Yosemite continues to thrive as one of America's most popular national parks.

Very Informative Guide.......2007-05-21
This is an excellent guide to the Canyon for anyone who's thinking about hiking there. I've hiked in the Canyon numerous times and this DVD is right on the money in describing the various trails, trailhead locations, degree of difficulty, what you'll see, etc. There's also sections (with contact info) on the various lodging facilities on both rims. The narration is enjoyable, the filming is first rate and the DVD is very easy to use. Even for those of you who have hiked these trails it's a fun way to relive those experiences (as I did). I highly recommend it.
The Grand Canyon is not just for burros anymore.......2007-05-18
When it comes to the Grand Canyon, there are three different kind of people:
1) Those who have been there already
2) Those who want to go there
3) Those who don't think they want to go there
This DVD is for all of these types of people: for those who have already been there, it is a combination souvenir/reminder of their trip and, for almost all of them, a window into areas of the Grand Canyon they probably didn't get a chance to explore and possibly didn't even know existed.
For those who want to go (and for those who have been and want to return), it is a valuable guide helping them to plan their trip so as to make the most of their time there and enjoy the park to the full.
In addition to the beautiful photography and interesting narrative, this hiking guide is chock full of tips on where to go, when, and how to prepare yourself when making your foray into the depths of this natural wonder. A great many hiking trails are outlined in detail, the videographer guiding you along the way on trips of various lengths and skill/stamina levels.
For the final demographic (those who don't think they want to go to the Grand Canyon) they may want to think again--Arizona's Grand Canyon is not "just a big hole in the ground." And it offers differing "faces" to its visitors depending on when they go--which season of the year and even time of day. Of course, one's exact location above or from within the canyon can make all the difference, too.
If it is simply impossible for a person to go, watching this DVD is the next-best thing to being there--vicariously accompany the videographer/narrator Jon Shannon as he does the walking for you.
In short, this DVD is entertaining, educational, and can save you lots of time, money, and headaches on your trip to this awe-inspiring corner of the Great American West.

Customer Reviews:
Outstanding photography and music.......2004-12-21
I used this dvd at work in the customer area with surround sound, and have had nothing but compliments. This dvd and the others by image products about our national parks are nothing but the best. Without narration and with music, makes it the tops.
Very disappointed.......2003-06-13
I live in the UK and ordered this movie as a prelude to visiting the grand canyon in person for the second time (since I went some years ago).
I have a home cinema system with a 100" projection screen. I therefore believed this DVD would look impressive. However I was a little disappointed by the picture quality but a lot more by the soundtrack which was poor quality.
Although the scenery is impressive on the film, there is no soundtrack apart from music. This is it's main failing, since I was hard pressed to sit through 55 minutes of scenery, mixed in with closeups of flowers, wildlife and a steam train with no narative. This could have been hugely informative, with good shots of scenery but it needed a narrator to give history, background, facts and figures, geology etc etc. As it was, I turned it off after 40 minutes because the scenery, beautiful though it was, all started to look rather similar. THe program desperately needed some facts and figures to break it up.
Overall I was disappointed and probably would not watch this DVD again. In any case it doesn't compare with the IMAX productions that are far superior, or to being there in person.
Grand Canyon National Park.......2002-02-18
My wife & I have have experienced the Grand Canyon's beauty by mule and twice on overnight hiking trips and are about to embark on a 6-day white water rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. This DVD is by far the best depiction of the Canyon's beauty that I've ever seen. However, you have to experience the Grand Canyon yourself to put all this beauty seen on the DVD in perspective.
